Dumping / Streaming
Requirements
- sources (camcorders/DSLRs/webcams/microscopes...)
- frame grabbing (vga?hdmi?composite? Over PCI/PCI-E/USB3?)
- compositing / encoding (OBS? ffmpeg?)
- dumping / streaming
Grabbing
- Analog audio in
- HDMI in
- SD analog video in (Switchable between VGA / S-VIDEO / Composite)
- USB V4L devices (microscopes, webcams)
Compositing
- OBS requires a GPU which supports OpenGL 3.2 or latter
Encoding
- What is a baseline system to do real-time 720p x264
- What is the maximum bitrate we can fill upstream
- Encoder ={Ubiquiti link}=> Upstream relay ==> Internet
Dumping
- We need some fast local storage
- Low disk space warning ( with temporal estimation of remaining recording capacity )
